FAQPage Schema
How do I safely complete a git development branch after finishing a feature?▼

Completing a git development branch involves verifying tests, determining the base branch, and choosing to merge locally, create a pull request, preserve, or discard the branch to ensure a clean workflow.

Can I create a pull request after verifying my branch tests locally?▼

Yes, verifying tests locally is a mandatory step before proceeding. Once tests pass, you can choose to create a pull request directly from your current development branch to integrate your changes.

What is the best way to discard a git branch if the work is no longer needed?▼

Discarding a git branch safely requires verifying tests first, then selecting the discard option from structured integration choices to cleanly remove the unwanted work without leaving orphaned branches.

Does this workflow support local merges back to the main branch?▼

Yes, local merges are supported. After mandatory test verification, the workflow presents structured options allowing you to safely merge your completed development branch directly back to the determined base branch.

Why do I need to run tests before merging a development branch?▼

Running tests before merging ensures code quality and prevents common git-related errors. Mandatory test verification acts as a safeguard before proceeding with any integration or cleanup actions.

How does worktree management integrate with branch completion?▼

Worktree management integrates with branch completion by facilitating cleanups. After you finalize your development branch through merging, pull requests, or discarding, the worktree is safely cleaned up.
